 "A timeless look in a useable highchair" 2005-05-22
By teathyme (an Air Force family Mom)
We've been using this highchair for about 2 months now and we are pleased. It isn't actually all that I had hoped for, but we do like it. We really wanted something that we could enjoy adding to our household long term as a piece of dining room furniture that went well with the set.

This chair does that nicely. The chair came with 'some assembly required' but it was really just putting the top onto the base and was very easy, my husband handled it in minutes. Once it was together we realized that it was shorter than we had expected. This is not a problem for us as we are short people and it actually fits with the height of the table pretty well, but if you are considering this purchase, do note the height meausurement given so you aren't surprised. The construction of the chair is very solid and seems sturdy and well done - we expect it to last through our future children with no real problem despite our frequent moves and hope it will even remain suitable for some grandkids down the line. The highchair is everything that I hoped it would be as far as looks, it is a beautiful thing.

Our only real disappointment is the way the seat/tray works. First, there is a bar across the seat that I never noticed in pictures. It actually makes the seat safer, especially for use without the tray, but it is also one more thing to have to think about and work around in putting the baby in or getting the baby out. The belt simply lays on the seat after coming up through a slit in the back instead of being secured on both sides under the chair. It's hard to explain, but the upshot is that if we do not pay very particular attention, our daughter ends up with the belt buckled very low and awkwardly...sort of around her thighs instead of around her waist. We had to learn to put the tray on. To attach it you have to pull up on levers on both sides at once and then slide it onto the tracks very evenly. It is definitely not a one handed operation.

On the positive side, as I said it seems very well constructed and it is very attractive. It also seems to hold the baby very securely. I would reccomend this highchair if someone is looking for a traditional sort of wooden chair and is interested in an heirloom quality piece of furniture. If you're undecided on plastic vs. wood and are looking for modern and extreme ease of operation this might not be for you.
